A Record 49% Of US Adults Are Unmarried

Fewer and fewer Americans are walking down the aisle, according
to a new study from the Pew Research Center.

Pew found that barely half of all
American adults are married — a record low. In 1960, 72%
of all adults were married. But that number dropped to 51% in
2011. Between 2009 and 2010 alone, the number of new marriages
fell by 5%.
